Do you think it's ironic that pro-life activists want all babies to be born?

yet there are hundreds of thousands of children out there in the foster care system due to neglect and abuse? There are hundreds of thousands of children (not fetuses, not embryos) real children, waiting to be adopted and taken care of.

But some pro-lifers are so fanatic about their beliefs that they put all their energy and effort into forcing moms to have babies they don't want?

Wouldn't their time and energy be much better used helping neglected and abused children? Aren't those the real kids suffering and deserving a chance at life? A good life?

Update:

I'm talking the real fanatics. The ones who wanted this MS law personhood law passed. That would even force a woman who's life is in danger to not abort. So the baby's life is more valuable than the mom? How can that be? The baby would't even be there w/o the mom.

Or forcing poor, uneducated 14 year olds to have babies because that's the "best thing" and it's a BABY. So, what happens to that BABY after it's born into poverty and into an uneducated family? Where's the healthcare and education and wonderful life for this kid?

Fanatical prolifers only want the baby to be born - who gives a **^% about it after that, right?!?

    The moment an unwanted fetus is delivered, the far right doesn't care at all about the life and well being of that child.

    They demand that a fetus become a human, but refuse to support living children.

    There are 3 million unwanted children in the US foster care system.

    Wow - Thank you!! I can't agree more!!! But like most anything political, common sense is ignored for political and religious diatribe.

    I always heard -- "don't abort!...there are millions of people that want to adopt". I grew up in FC - I wasn't adopted. I aged out. At any given time, there are 450,000 kids in the U.S foster care system, 120,000 are eligible for adoption today...as in - right now!! AND it's FREE! Where are all these "millions" willing to adopt??? It's a crock. Adoption of a newborn is not "beautiful". Think about it - the child's life begins with a loss of it's mother. Beautiful isn't the word I would be thinking of.

    I say: If you want a child - get pregnant, have the child. If you don't want a child, either protect yourself from becoming pregnant - or terminate the pregnancy as EARLY as possible.

    Pregnancy is never a "mistake" - it's a consequence.

    So unhappy. You frustrate me with the way you have mentioned it, yet to three extent I consider what you have mentioned. i'm for the main area professional-life. yet i don't end being concerned concerning to the toddler as quickly as that's born. genuine, no delivery administration is a hundred% helpful. yet there might nonetheless be lots much less undesirable toddlers interior the worldwide if human beings might attempt utilising it. there are maximum of types accessible! i can not do prescription delivery administration as a results of fact they mess with my thoughts too lots. i can not do condoms as a results of fact of hypersensitive reactions. yet i will take care of spermicide movies. - there is something for terribly nearly easily everyone! between the failings that bugs me maximum is to take heed to somebody say that they don't use contraceptives as a results of fact they are able to't take care of to pay for them. - Do they think of elevating a toddler, getting an abortion, or curing an STD may be from now on cheap? For now, i might particularly spend a dollar each and every time i choose to have intercourse than carry a toddler into the worldwide that i'm not waiting for. approximately your adoption and fostering remark ... i can not consider your asserting "if i will do it so can very nearly easily everyone else." i know maximum of those that would not make in advantageous condition foster or adoptive mothers and dads - in spite of in the event that they're good mothers and dads to their very own youngsters. i might particularly see youngsters in a team living house than with a number of the losers i know. individually, i like the assumption of adopting or fostering a toddler. and that i did look into it various months in the past. yet various the available youngsters had problems that i'm not waiting to attend to. I easily have helped sufficient families who have been down on their luck to have an concept what i may be getting myself into. - i choose to do it some day. and that i'm hoping that any one who needs greater suitable than 2 youngsters will heavily evaluate taking in a toddler who already desires a house particularly of bobbing up a sparkling one. yet for now, i know it somewhat is not for me so i won't do it.

    Hey, Mississippi was a victory. I applaud those conservative voters for doing the right thing- although it seems no brainer to us. Being pro-life is 9 times out of 10 a religious thing. Once you are born- god (that man in the sky, you know, who watches over everyone) will take care of everything.

    Hilarious.

    Yes because you know those pro-lifers don't understand that we're all just mindless animals. I mean last week I found myself f*cking everything in a bar down to the stools with no protection and I was afraid without abortion my animal like behavior would've resulted in a kid nine months later. THANK GOD liberals get that whew.

    I'm pro-life and I believe that prevention is the answer. More sex ed and contraceptive availability is required.

    We should also give parents the assistance they need to raise their kids and improve our adoption and foster care system. Abortion should be the LAST option.

    I'm pro choice, but I want children to be born. I also support people adopting instead, or in addition to, breeding.

    I would expect pro life activist to want all babies to be born so no I do not find that ironic.

    its easy, if you don't want to have a kid you either do not have sex or you take precautions.

    abortion should be the last option. it should be between a woman and her doctor, there are many affects post murder for many women.

    Yes as Ironic as liberals who oppose bullying, but would have an adult doctor kill an unborn baby that can't defend itself.

    If not for Irony, politics would be easy, and we would figure this out faster than, having to go through almost 40 years of discussion/argument/protesting/lobbying etc.
